Thanks to all for the advice. I hadn't considered changing the gearing, so now I will. I like the low 1st and power in second too. I guess I'll give Rancho transaxle a call. Seems like a slightly taller 3rd and a quite taller 4th would work well for my engine. I posted a WTB for a DK trans. on the list. If anyone knows of one for sale please send them my way--I'm still do this inexpensively so that I can find the right gearing before rebuilding anything. Thanks, Sam |
